Note: Subsequent to our publication of this story, the Daily Mail changed it’s story to note that although “Spyros Niarchos appeared in several files relating to Epstein, A representative for Spyros Niarchos has confirmed that he has never met or spoken with Jeffrey Epstein, and that any suggestion of an association or relationship is incorrect.” The Maine Wire’s initial story accurately cited and quoted the Daily Mail’s reporting at the time.
A British tabloid has latched onto a Maine candidate’s achilles heel stemming from his allegedly playing fast and loose with the “Epstein files.”
Seems Graham Platner has his own Epstein baggage even while he’s blasting the GOP senator he could well be facing come November for a cover-up.
The Daily Mail is citing a piece from the Maine Small Business Development Centers reporting that Platner received $20,000 from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation five years ago to fund his oyster business.
Spyros Niarchos, on the foundation board, “has been described by Greek newspaper Documento as a member of the ‘inner circle of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein,” the Daily Mail reports.
Niarchos appeared in several of the files relating to Epstein that have been released by the U.S. Department of Justice in recent months.
Word of the possible Platner/Epstein connection comes in the wake of golden boy Platner complaining that U.S. Sen. Susan Collins failed to vote to release the Epstein files.
Platner better be careful of what he wishes for.
If he wins the Democrat nomination over Gov. Janet Mills – as the polls suggest may indeed happen – he could well be facing Collins in the general election this fall.
Maine’s Celebrity Democrat Oyster King Called Out For Epstein Connections Amid U.S. Senate Race
By Ted Cohen
well Epstein is something Mills and Platner have in common. What is it with democRATs and pedophiles?
This is a career enhancer if you are a democrat.
Someone ought to look into his finances — I can’t get over how he is TOTALLY DISABLED and yet able to not only run an oyster farm but theoretically serve as a US Senator. I find it interesting that he sells oysters to his mother, I merely say this is somebody who is familiar with the lobster industry.
And who really is financing his campaign his parents have some money not but not that much, so who’s doing it?
